Droid Engineer Archive

Having never posted before, I thought I would add my vote to all the others regarding the frustration with our Droid Engineering profession. I really would like to understand the logic behind the decisions the development team is making because, from "down here", it doesn't make sense whatsoever. Perhaps they are actually trying to make a class system where there really is a lower class - dedicated to those who are committed to the Droid Engineering concept. Heh, not likely but none of this makes sense. Given how useless I am in the periodic combat adventures I go on (as therapy to all the grinding and harvester mtce), I may decide to go CH or one of the elite classes from the marksman tree. I can't express how disappointed and frustrated I am with the team that designs this. It is just a game but c'mon, what the heck??? Are they short-staffed in the droid engineering development department??? Pathetic.

I'm reposting this here...I figured some might find my comments interesting.

Others will just tell me to go away (and they might be right...I may just do that very thing).

Enjoy.

TH, if you decide to read my full reply, go and read the following thread next, it should explain most everything you need to understand in the short term.

Its taking a little bit longer because the game systems that run droids are all attached to fundamental game systems.



Blah blah blah, blah buh dee blah, blah.

How's it feel to be laughed at for your plight? The Devs made this bed...now they have to lie in it. Did you really just basically whine to us that fixing the profession would be hard? Waaah!!!!

No cookie for you. You all should have 'recognized' and fixed the issues that have been there even since Beta 3 (and are still in the game).

Sorry for the jadedness, I know you didn't write the code personally. I'd like to add a constructive comment here...but I can't. I've done it 1000x's too many on this forum already. You all just never seem to listen. Irespectfully put forththat the Dev team has collectively understated its ability to produce quality answers to our concerns or even show the least amount of caring when posting (or, in fact, not posting) to the DE community.




So there.





Oh, and by the way, it will take you longer to fix the DE community than to fix the DE profession. Here's an example:

I'm pretty sure you'd like to tell me to go play on TC andhelp you all test your changes, report bugs, tweak your code through yet more hard, free work. Sorry...not gonna happenf or this guy. Why?

I don't personally happen to believe that any strike team you all have the ability to cobble together will have any chance of getting the job done (given the status of the profession, thus far). Keep in mind, I'm not just some newbie that picked up the box yesterday...I beta'ed this mutha, TH. I know exactly whereof I speak, my friend.




Fixing DE's, and making them the way they should be, is going to take a bit more than a hotfix.


More like an act of God.

To constructively post: Yea! We finally get attention! What?!? You mean they've said that before? ......oh.

With that being said, I'm working to get profession status updates for ALL professions and aspects (aspects being GCW, PA's and Star Wars).



That's nice. Good for you...I look forward to reading them. I guess it's too late to ask for a cookie.

By the way...did you see what our highly-lauded and respected Correspondent thinks lately?

If not, here some excerpts:

"I am so goddamn pissed right now. Logging into the game and seeing Creature Handlers making 150k per f*cking Kaduu and Carrion Spat. Alot more for the other mounts.

Yeah, my jealousy is petty but I am sick of this. First they nerf my probot and give CHs the business, and now they just give them more business.

I tell you what, they better come up with something amzaing that makes me more than 8 goddamn **edit**ing thousand credits an hour.

**edit**. I am ready to quit this **edit**ing game." - Sintrosi

My goal is to have them posted by Saturday morning...


Like I've said before...you need to stop with the pseudo-timetables. Seriously. You're only shooting yourself in the foot. Just state that they will be posted when they are done (but that you're working like you have a gun to your head to do it). That should be enough.

Just start handing real, valid useful information. Nothing more.I said this earlier today. We only asked for a helping hand...instead we got a finger.

heck I just saw a city hall sell for 750k... ugh... we better be the only ones able to make vehicles thats all I have to say.

Hopefully this will generate some attention. I knew that mountable creatures were going to be expendsive but 150,000 to 450.000 credits OMFG!

Im glad i have novice politician to keep me entertianed from dropping DE,

If you want to see something that'll further add to the DE pissed off level, Check the Dev Tracker... An ARMORSMITH complained because their #1 problem didn't get fixed this patch... The only thing we got this patch (10 experimentation points) is something they've had since the start... **edit**...

What gets me is the CH crying that goes on at the slightest little nerf to thier (god mode) profession.

Maybe we should all agree not to sell any droid for under 100k ever again, including MSEs.

LOL... and get this:

CH's can now rent their pets out
